FAQs

What is this screening made from?

The screening is hand-made from natural, peeled reed materials, offering an organic and rustic appearance.

How long does this screening typically last?

The lifespan depends on environmental conditions. With proper care and maintenance, it can last several years. Regular sealant application can extend its life.

Can this screening be used to create a fully private area?

Yes, it provides a good level of privacy by obscuring views, though complete visual blockage may depend on the density of the reeds and the angle of observation.

What is the best way to attach the screening?

Secure it to an existing fence, wall, or sturdy posts using galvanized wire, strong cable ties, or screws with washers, ensuring it is taut and well-supported.

Is the beige color natural or dyed?

The beige color is the natural color of the peeled reed material.

Can I cut this screening to size?

Yes, you can cut the screening to your desired length using sharp shears or a utility knife. Be sure to cut cleanly.

Does this screening offer any soundproofing benefits?

While it can dampen some noise due to its density, it is primarily designed for visual screening and does not offer significant soundproofing capabilities.

Troubleshooting

Screening appears uneven or slack.

Re-tension the screening and ensure fixings are tight. Adjust the number or spacing of fixings for a tauter finish.

Natural color fading over time.

Apply a UV-resistant sealant or a garden stain suitable for natural materials to help preserve color. Consider repositioning if it's in constant direct, harsh sunlight.

Material feels brittle or shows signs of decay.

This can occur with prolonged exposure to moisture. Ensure good airflow and consider treating with a wood preservative or sealant. Replace sections that are significantly degraded.

Difficulty in cutting the material cleanly.

Use a sharp pair of secateurs, shears, or a fine-toothed saw for a cleaner cut. Ensure the material is laid flat before cutting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Unroll the screening carefully, ensuring it does not snag or tear.
  2. Position the screening against the fence, wall, or structure you wish to cover.
  3. Secure the screening using appropriate fixings such as galvanized wire, cable ties, or screws with washers, spaced evenly along the top, middle, and bottom.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most existing garden fences (wood, metal, chain-link).

Care:

  • While durable, natural reed can degrade over time, especially in damp or extreme weather.
  • For longevity, consider applying a clear, water-repellent sealant annually, particularly on exposed sections.
  • Keep the area around the base of the screening clear of debris to promote air circulation and prevent moisture build-up.
  • Inspect fixings periodically and re-secure as needed.
